The 2012 Round for The Red Ribbon Award is open

On this year's World AIDS Day, UN and civil society partners jointly announce a global call for nominations for the 2012 Red Ribbon Award. The award, which will be presented at the XIX International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2012) in Washington DC in July 2012, will be given to ten organizations that have shown outstanding community leadership and action on AIDS.

 

The five award categories are:

• Prevention of sexual transmission

• Prevention among people who use drugs

• Treatment, care and support

• Advocacy and human rights

• Stopping new HIV infections in children and keeping mothers alive; women's health.

The selected community organizations will benefit from international visibility and an invitation to participate in the XIX International AIDS Conference. Additionally, each recipient of the award will receive a US$10,000 grant.

We call out to civil society partners around the world to spread the word that the RRA 2012 Round is now open and that their nominations of exceptional community-based organizations would be welcome. Additional information regarding the Red Ribbon Award, the categories and criteria for selection, as well as the on-line nomination facility may be found online on the Red Ribbon Award website.

Shine a light on the best that the response to AIDS can offer!
